If so, remove the green wire coming from your generator (remove from the regulator side), and ground it. Then rev it up, and check for voltage across the battery terminals. It should go up around 19 volts.
That's the procedure for checking a 2pg with external starter. I'm assuming yours is similar.
If the voltage climbs, it is a regulator problem. If it doesn't climb, it is a generator problem. Since it is a starter/generator, odds are real good that if it turns over to start, it is also working as a generator.

Ill try it. thinking it's a simple bad wire or wire end somewhere that Im just missing since it worked great till I went in and fixed the points but your test should at least eliminate the voltage regulator from the list.
Yes the starter is working great, brushes are good....
